Yeah, let's be pretty clear: even if you built about.me, you weren't going to have an exit as good as this one because you weren't already a known quantity to AOL (as Tony Conrad was).

I will also say that flavors.me launched before them, but the about.me domain is obviously much better than flavors.



So this is essentially a signing bonus for Tony Conrad to come back to AOL for a few more years? Man, I need to start working on my personal branding.


Some part of this signing amount is for domain name. about.me is valuable domain to have IMO.
